This is very good judgement. The lack of judgement as a ministry by Vilasrao and R.R.Patil got their slap.
Giving entertainment, subject to public order, is a normal activity in all parts of the world. Legislating on moral issues is very special to Maharastra. Many women lost their livelihood and this was publicised very much in the west and UK in particular. Instead of improving the living standards and worrying about suicides of farmers, these Maha wonks are legislating on these trivial matters. Nobody surmised whether these guys failed to get thier haftas and therefore brought in the ban.
I was shocked when I went to see a movie in Bombay. To my horror they played national anthem and we all are supposed to stand like statues for those few minutes. I felt I was in North Korea where this sense of circumstance does not deter you from singing paens to the Dear Leader and Communism. Watching movie is a pastime and inserting this scheduel of national anthem in senseless. By the way, I am as nationalist as Bal Thackeray but this practice is utterly senseless. But as this is Maharastra, they can do what they like.
